What is NACOMA ?

The Namibian Coast Conservation and Management project (NACOMA) is tasked to pave the way for an Integrated Coastal Zone Management System for Namibia’s coast.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Government of the Republic of Namibia fund this five-year project, which was established in March 2006.

NACOMA, under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, as a facilitator of government should:

• Enable Namibians to agree on a common vision for the management of the coastal zone;
• Develop & support the implementation of the  Government’s coastal policy;
• Clarify the legal and regulatory framework for coastal zone development planning;
• Harmonize institutional mandates and roles for the management of the coastal zone;
• Provide required training & practical skills to key stakeholders responsible for managing the coast;
• Improve awareness about the coastal biodiversity, environmental problems and the coastal value.
